THE FOG, THE FOG

OK, this is a true tale that I tell, a bit long but a tale to beware. This am (6am) when I awakened and was going about the house in the usual fibro fog I knew that I needed to brush my teeth. So I'm in front of the mirror looking at this person wondering who let this bag woman into the house and I would, however, on occasion recongize myself. I continued to watch the bag lady and I Gragged the toothbrush and a tube of goo from the counter. As I conintued to stare and reconize this person with the wrinkles and the age spots, gray hair,etc I squeezed the tube of goo onto my brush. Now besides tooth paste on my counter I happen to have goo for a woman's nether regions for a someime problem; let's just put it this way; I don't use corn starch instead of baby power because I might bake bread down there; when it hits me; I don't KNOW WHICH GOO IS ON MY BRUSH; hmmmmmmmmmm YUCK....now I spend the next 10 minutes going back and forth in the dark going is it or not.....so within the full grip of the fibro fog I finally decide that the best thing to do is to throw away the toothbrush and start all over with a new one and so I am off to the store .....well, if I can find my keys; I'm jumping up and down now....GOOD MORNING AMERICA

LMBO I love it - I finally looked in the mirror at 630 last night as I was changing clothes and was horrfied at what I saw so I am with you on this one. The fog is constant with me - I have made friends with it

LMBO Good Morning Psyche. That was such a good thing to start the morning off with right? LOL We can all identify for sure. For our own protection, we need to keep the feminine products and PrepH in another place away from the toothpaste. Hope that you have a better day today. Love and Hugs, Debbie

I always had bills payed on time, always.
Now if i get them paid before they r due im lucky. I know they are due the same time every month but for the life of me i cant remember to pay them on time, even with them all written in my calendar.

Now let me tell u just how bad my fog has gotten.

I get payed every 2 weeks at work, but if we are off for xmas break, spring break, etc. we dont get paid but we still fill out our time sheet. Each time sheet is for 2 weeks.
Yesterday i went to fill out my time sheet to turn it in. I realized i was 2 weeks late AND I had 2 extra time sheets in my box. I thought, hmm.. they must have printed me doubles so i threw them away.
At the end of the day i was talking to my boss about this. She gets a copy of all of our time sheets so she went thru all of her copies. Low and behold she was missing 5 weeks of time sheets for me. I was like, well what the heck, i know im getting paid, i have direct deposit. So she called over to payroll. Payroll lady did not have me in the system as being payed for 5 weeks, so i went and pulled the time sheets i had thrown away out of the trash, how did i miss this? Im getting paid. Well, when i started direct deposit it messed my pay schedule up, i caught it and called payroll, she looked and said, once direct deposit starts evrything will catch up. Ok so i thought all is cool.
Well i have 5 weeks of pay coming to me besides the time sheet i turn in next week.

How in the hell this happened is beyond me. I have gone thru my pay stubs and cannot for the life of me figure this out.
But on the plus side i will have a nice hefty check for 7 weeks of pay total,, lol

This is how bad my fibro fog has gotten! but still cant figure out how i missed all of this.

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
